This thread gonna work one more time. I honestly can't see Sachin scoring a 100 here. He's got one of the poorer records among the Indian batsmen on Indian grounds where the pitches are flat.
Not some sort of backhanded compliment to him but just the facts. Can't prove it, but if someone who knows something about this can, please go ahead.
Even if it's to the contrary

gonna break it
It's a bit of a conspiracy theory, but what would sound better for the Wankhede? Site of yet another 3-0 win over the WI or the stadium where India's greatest player scored his ton of tons?

Not really - it is a meaningless record, made even more ridiculous by all the pathetic hype built around it by the marketing men and the idiotic sub-100 IQ 'fanboys'.
Yes, because of these retarded fanboys, of which India seems to have far more than its fair share, this record will get a lot of publicity. It will also be probably commemorated by BCCI etc, thereby making it important in Indian cricket history - all that is fair enough, after all marketing is important and products have to be sold to idiots too.
However, in cricket history in general, the record is meaningless since it combines different formats - no cricket record is kept that way and never has. No player is measured or appraised in this way.
Tendulkar reaching 15,000 Test runs, or 20,000 ODI runs, or 50 centuries in Tests, or 50 centuries in ODIs are ALL far more meaningful and significant milestones / records - because those milestones/records actually exist!

In all the record books bhai - have done so since records began, for each format.
Do you have difficulty reading or are just a bit slow?
I have already explained in the very post that you quoted why its meaningless. Please re-read, and if still unsure, you could perhaps request a grown-up to explain it to you?

All I've said is I just don't see the point in adding odi centuries and test centuries. Scoring 50 centuries is hard enough in one format. When people started talking about Sachin about to reach his 100th hundred I actaully thought he is about to score in one format. I am not discrediting him, just agreeing with Shehryark in his finely written post.Never said anything about cricinfo or statsguru. Putting words into my post

Sachin comes to bat.
I got a feeling that Bishoo will get him today b4 he can score a century.
LOL. Who did? This is first I am hearing of it - he has 1,000 Test wickets?
It doesn't keep record, it just gives a tab where you could see those records - I guess they have to cater for the under-10 years or under-100 IQ audience too
Indeed I did.
And can I just say how wonderful it is that in you, we have another genius here who is unable or unwilling to read or at least to comprehend. 
Don't they have comprehension classes in schools any more? Or I guess they cover it after primary school, fair enough.

. You can see that I never actually claimed that you accepted the "stats" from the other thread. Rather, I was simply pointing out that you had just posted in a thread which clearly shows that Cricinfo maintains "All Test/ODI/T20I" records. Your earlier post had indicated to me that you were possibly unaware that Cricinfo maintains such records, and I was confused as to why, since you had just posted in a thread that used one. I hope you get it now .
LOL. And the point of "pointing out" something that I know already, that you know already, and that anyone who can reads knows already?

Anyway - you are of course very welcome to go worship your idiotic records if that makes you happy - even the demented need some succour, and if mixing and matching random things helps provide them that, good for them. I'm all for it, as long as the context remains marketing and not sporting.
). Never did I show any adoration for any particular record. I only questioned the reasoning behind your definition of 'record.' Hell, I never even disagreed with your statements. I just asked for an explanation, which seems to be enough to cause an overreaction from you!
To be honest, I want Sachin to get the 100.
Get it over with. Too much hype and attention given to it on Pakpassion.
Maybe after that, he'll fail in another 10 inning and finally retire.

I think I should be awarded temporary Moderator powers for those 100 days.
All in favour?
LOL. Who did? This is first I am hearing of it - he has 1,000 Test wickets?
I thought it was 800+.
If you meant combined in all formats - then who cares? Its not a number anyone was aware of or at least cared about.
Anyway - wattay maar maar ker jitni marzi le lo bhaai....
